The Dukes were my first shot at "vagina weights", as I like to call anything in the "exercise" toy group. First off, the material is great -- silicone being very safe and easy to clean. The shells (that hold the balls) are also very soft to handle and insert. I suggest lubing them up first, but to each their own. Being new to the whole "let's put these balls up my kitty and hope I can pull them back on a tiny string" concept, I tested (ruthlessly tugged on) the handle end before using and found it to be really strong.

Using the Dukes was a great experience. They were a comfortable size and shape to put in, and there was plenty enough "tail" to not make me fear them getting sucked up in me for good. Wearing them was fun, like a cross between a tickling or vibration with every step. I'd wear them for a few hours at a time and they never felt uncomfortable. I also love how this came with the different weights and a one or two weight-holding shell.

The only rough part about these is getting the balls situated in the shells. It's a little tricky getting them just so, but I wouldn't let it stop you from checking out these great weights.

The Dukes were the right shape and size, plus fun and comfortable to use. I consider myself an intermediate/ experienced toy user, but think beginners could have fun with this as well. The single or double shell options are great too.

The Duke shells are made of silicone, which I prefer to clean via boiling. The crown logo raised on the shell's surface might be a little annoying to clean with soap. The weights are of a hard plastic material which can be washed with an antibacterial soap, and the shape is simple enough to feel like you got the whole thing squeaky clean. Water lube only on these guys!

good start at reviewing. what can you tell us about silicone? what can you tell us about the material of the balls? what are the dimensions of the Dukes? do they just sit in your vag or can you do something while they're inserted? what are storing recommendations?

Thanks!
Well, I'm no materials expert, as a disclaimer- however, since silicone is not-so porous I feel confident about cleaning via boiling it for a few minutes to get squeaky clean. I also a toy cleaner ("Before and After")to clean this toy (and others) and have had no issue with that.

The balls themselves are a hard plastic. They seem non-porous (or at least on the non-porous end of the materials scale). I clean em with the toy cleaner spray. I didn't include the dimensions (wasn't sure if we were expected to include information provided in the toy's profile).

And they do just sit in your vag But just because they sit doesn't mean you have to! I can go for a walk, cook up some supper, even jump around to see what it feels like without any discomfort. The vibrating feeling is quite cool actually! I probably wouldn't advise anything extreme/ too repetitive (jogging, for example. Something intermittent- say tennis- might be fun though!).

Storing? Well, I clean them then through em in a ziplock (and change the bag every so often). That may just be my preference. I feel the fancy box it came with takes up too much space... Just be sure to keep them sealed/ bagged in something to keep dust and such away.

Thank you for the questions and comments!
